It's a hand in your vagina. It's going to hurt lol. Just imagine when they check your cervix.. that's no walk in the park either. Pelvic exams are uncomfortable but hey, you made it through. Now if you're like me you'll avoid the glucose test because well, I hate needles and I know I'm not diabetic. Yea, I'll eventually take the test but he'll have to yell at me first. lol Just be ready for a round of blood work and if you're squeamish, look away! Be prepared to become a human pin cushion!

Hey, thanks for your message. Yeah, I have no problem with needles. Did the glucose test and the Quad test weeks and weeks ago; no problem. I just look away and breathe. This pelvic exam thing though is apparently very uncomfortable due to the sensitivity of my cervix at this point (36 weeks) and I'm going to definitely let him know it the next time I see him.

A pelvic exam shouldn't hurt if you're able to relax. Talk to your doctor and let him know he needs to be more careful. I've also heard of doctors doing an exam to strip the membranes without telling their patients during this time (very late in pregnancy). It is thought to speed labor and should be done with consent, but isn't always. Basically it feels like a very vigorous pelvic exam. I'm not saying that's what your doctor was doing, but it is something to be aware of, if it seems that the exam was longer and rougher than you would expect.
